In these days of high prices and ex pensive living it behooves us to guard the pennies with a far seeing eye. Bad pennies sometimes return, but good ones seldom do. It therefore becomes our duty, when we part with a good penny, to secure the greatest possible returns for it. Lost pennies soon mount into dollars, and the vanishing dollar blazes the way to poverty and eventu al nowhere. You can save the pennies and retain the dollars if you will read carefully each week the advertisements in this paper. They will tell you at which stores you can get the best bargains, where quality is of the best and price is at the minimum, where your true interests lie when you go out to spend the money that comes to you from hours of heavy and unceasing toil. None of us may hope to save all that we earn, for we must live, and it takes money these days to even exist. We must spend a good portion ot our earnings, often all of them, and the judgment and care we use in that expenditure will determine in a con siderable measure the enjoyment and pleasures of life. If we buy at haphazzard we too fre quently pay dearly for our indifference and lack of economical foresight whereas it we are prudent and assimi late the knowledge that is laid be fore us we at least have the satisfac tion of knowing that we have done the best that we could do under ex isting circumstances. Again we suggest, and emphasize that the wise and prudent cdfurse to pursue is to read carefully each week the advertisements in this paper Read them all, every one of them for in little places big bargains are often found. High prices are here, and we as a community can not prevent what a whole nation must endure. But we can, and should, prevent the unneces sary loss of pennies through commer cial indifference and neglect. This is not a day of philanthropy, and merchants are not advertising for the sake of handing their money over to the publisher. They are doing it because they have the goods and make the prices to back up their advertisements, and it is to the financial interest of the consumer to dissect every advertisement and take advantage of every opportunity thus afforded. The expense of reading an ad is nothing but a little time when not otherise engaged. The savings may run into dollars. IS YOUR MIND YOUR OWN? We often hear people make the re mark, “I have a mind of my own.” Literally speaking, yes. But other wise, No! We can demonstrate the truth of the latter statement by referring to your own actions, by the actions of your friends, and neighbors, by the ac tions of the public in general. No man has a mind wholly and ab solutely his own in the generally ac cepted sense of the word. No man forms his conclusions entirely from his own observations and reflections, though many sincerely believe that they do. One simple illustration is sufficient to prove the correctness of our con tention. Mr. Nameless Is one of our citizens who “has a mind of his own." At least he says he has, and he really believes what he says. He walks along our streets day by day. Glaring defects in our municip al system stare him in the face. He sees them not—or seeing them, fails to heed them. His mind is not con cerned. Another citizen comes along, points them out, starts an agitation that grows, and Mr. Nameless immediately comes to life and joins the throng with lusty shouts for improvement— after the other fellow has done the work. If Mr. Nameless really “had a mind of his own” the agitation would have no effect whatever upon that mind. But he hasn’t. His mind is just like the minds of all of the rest of us. just like the mind of every human be ing—it can be influenced and swayed by other minds, just as readily as the work of his mind can influence the minds of other people. The articles we read, the words we hear, our conversation of everyday life all have a direct and a powerful Influence over our own minds, often diverting our convictions and ideas into wholly different channels from those formerly used. i A mind that is worth having is al ways susceptible to change, to con viction, to revision superintend by the wisdom emanating from other minds. A mind that is wholly its own is no mind at all. FACTS REGARDING INCREASED EARNINGS. Gradually the real facts are leaking out regarding the increase in railroad earnings and the congestion of freight on the Atlantic seaboard. Increased railroad earnings have been pointed to as an evidence of permanent gen eral prosperity. Here are some of the facts that account for the increase. Demand for vessels to carry war supplies to Europe has caused a large portion of the ships formerly en gaged in coastwise trade to be with drawn, so that much freight that would normally go by water now goes by rail. Slides in the Panama canal made it necessary to ship coast-to-coast freight overland. High water rates due to the demand for transportation to Europe made shipment around the Horn impracticable. The abronmally large grain crops produced because of the prospect o£ war prices, gave the railroads a large ly increased traffic from the Middle West to Atlantic ports. Increased freight rates have been allowed by the International Com merce Commission in certain terri tory. It will be observed that all these factors, except the slight increase in freight rates, depend upon the con tinuance of the war and the over-sea demand for our products. It is diffi cult to understand how any far-sighted business man can interpret increased railroad earnings as a sign of pros perity any more premanent that the temporary and abnormal conditions in which they have their origin. “NOTHING IN FREE TRADE." President Wilson says there is noth ing in either the doctrine of free trade or that of protection. We are willing he should speak for the doctrine oi free trade but there are others vastl> more competent to speak for the doc trine of protection. We shall entire ly agree that there is nothing in fret trade. We have proven it by sad ex perience. But as for protection— there is much in it. There is in it for instance, a full dinner pail for thf laborer, busy factories for industria investors, plenty of business for re tail merchants, wide-spread pros perity in the United States, a full federal treasury and no need for stami taxes. Nothing in it? We shoult worry. AFTER THE WAR. That the war cannot continue a great while longer is a reasonable be lief and that when it closes we shall have a great deal to do in this eoun try in adjusting our affairs to the new conditions produced by the war is a certainty. The tariff will bulk big. We must have a general revision taking intc account the revisions that will be forced on Europe. Tariff-making will be a necessity everywhere; and we must make ours to conform not onlj to the requirements of our home mar kets, but to those foreign markets which we are hoping to enter and cultivate.—Washington Star. The $91,000,000 order for beef ste \ placed in Canada by Great Britain is to be apportioned among Canadian and American packet’s. Incidental ly, the filling of this order will require cans to the value of $5,000,000, the contract for which will be placed with the American Can Company, there be ing no Can making industry in the Do minion large enough to undertake the contract. What Canada can't, we can. Charley Bryan was badly beaten for the democratic nomination for gov ernor, but was nominated on the pop ticket, receiving about fifty votes in the state which nominated him. It is not known whether Mr. Bryan will accept the pop nomination or not. if he does he would make it decidedly interesting for the wet nominee on the democratic ticket. HISTORIC PLACES. Miss Emma Outhouse, who is at tending the Library school at Albany, New York, has been writing such in teresting letters to her home folks, that the Woman’s Unity club thought many of her friends would like to read them. They begged to have the fol lowing letter published:—In it she describes something of their annual visit to the New England Libraries. The itinerary is planned by the school Sunday gave her a chance for this in teresting side trip. (Sunday Afternoon, April 9, 1916). Snowing this morning. We planned to go to Concord and Lexington to day and I hope we can go. Helen Gus tin, a college friend of Cordelia, (my roommate), a secretary of Boston As sociated Charities, goes with us. We shall take the trolley car to Concord and then get a team and buggy to drive around both towns. Boston is an interesting city but not rushing like New York and Chicago. People don’t hurry; they can’t for the streets are narrow and you have to elbow your way through the crowd.

To make it worse there are short cuts about three feet wide between the buildings. Mr. Love’s office (he is director of the Providence Teachers’ Agency) overlooks the old Granary Burying Ground. Paul Revere, James Otis, Samuel Adams. John Hancock, and a host of other Revolutionary patriots are buried here. Cordelia pointed to the Athenaeum just across the way and remarked, “There is life ‘beyond’ the grave.” Since coming to Boston, I have visited the libraries at Brookline. Somerville, and Boston. Brookline and Somerville are suburbs of Bos ton, but each is larger than Lincoln. They have model libraries, for the rich people of the places keep up the libraries. The Boston public library is most wonderful! 1 wish you could see the Abbey pictures, “The Guest of the Holy Grail.” They are in the hall and represent King Arthur's search and finding the Holy Grail. I tried to get “The Knighting of King Arthur” but couldn’t for there is a copyright on each. Sunday Evening,—It snowed hard this afternoon so Helen and Cordelia gave up the Concord trip. I was de termined to go. Mr. Love went with me. We trollied (?) first to Lexing ton and saw the battlefield. It was snow covered and made me think of Lowell’s lines: “Tis winter and there is no sound up on the air Save wind upon the battle ground, and gently there The snow is falling all around. How fair! How fair!” The field is marked by a huge bould er on which is carved a rifle and this inscription. “Don’t fire, unless fired upon, but if they mean to have war let it begin here.” We took another trolley to Concord, then hired one of the numerous jit neys and rode around the village. First vie went to Emerson's home, which is a large, square, two story yellow house well kept. Emerson's son lives in it now. Then we stopped at Hawthorne’s house and saw the “House of Seven Gables.” There is a queer cupola on the house which was Hawthorne’s study. Mr. Love said that Hawlitorne climbed into his study by a ladder and pulled the ladder up after himself so that he might be alone. The next place on the road was the Alcott house. It has recently been restored but is not open to the public till April 19, alas! By it is a big white mansion, the Laurence home of “Little Women.” It is much the same as she described it, at least I picked out the apple tree which they rocked in, to my satisfaction. The house is still painted brown and the "Palace Beau tiful” is perfectly enormous with the long on the side. Across the town is the house which Hawthorne described in “Mosses from an old Manse.” It is a low, two story house with a bungalow roof, painted a black green exactly the right shade to suggest its name. Not far from it is Concord bridge and battlefield. There is a monument of the “Minute Man” here on the pedestal of which is the first stanza of Emerson’s “Con cord Hymn,"— “On the rude bridge which marked the flood Its flag to April breeze unfurled Here first the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world.” Near it is a lowr stone erected to the English sons who died on the battlefield. The stone has the follow ing lines from Lowell.— “They came three thousand miles, and died, To keep the Past upon its throne. Unheard beyond the ocean tide. Their English mother made her moan.” We came down the road of Paul Revere’s ride and passed Sleepy Hollow where Emerson, Hawthorne. Thoreau and Louisa M. Alcott are buried. Com ing home on the trolley, we passed Walden Pond where Thoreau lived. Now when you remeber that we saw all this in a snowstorm, you realize that I really wanted to see.

H. W. OJENDYK, Seal Village Clerk. OMAHA TAKES SECOND PLACE IN LIVE STOCK MARKET. Omaha is today the second greatest live stock and packing center in the world. Figures compiled at the lead ing packing centers of the country for the first three months of this year prove this conclusively. Kansas City has long claimed the distinction, but receipts in the stock yards at the leading markets of the country, for the first quarter of this year, show that Omaha is in the lead with a ma jority of 361,000 head of live stock. The stock yards at Omaha made new records in all three months of the first quarter of this year, the re ceipts being: Hogs, 1.116.434; Cattle. 3S5.342; Sheep. 586.597. Omaha's steady growth as a live stock market is remarkable when the comparative youth of this metropolis is considered. In 1915 a total of 7, 171,223 head of live stock came to the Union Stock Yards at Omaha. Of this inconceivably vast quantity of stock 4.750,223 head were killed, con verted into meat and sold to all parts of the world. WHAT TO DO WITH WORMY PIGS. Little pigs become infected with worms by the litter picked up in old • hog houses, pens and pastures, eggs i having been passed off by the older ( hogs. Sanitation, including freedom < from dirt, drainage, sunshine, freedom t from dust, and other disinfectants are t the best preventatives. The College J of Agriculture suggests that santonin j r and calomel is the best means of rid- j f fling hogs of worms. Ordinarily five j i grains of santonin and three grains of c calomel when mixed in a thin slop is ( sufficient for 100-pound pigs. Care; t should be taken to see that at feeding r :he pigs get a fairly equal amount, e fifty-pound shoats may be given four 1 grains of santonin and two grains of l calomel. Big hogs should be given fix grains of santonin and four grains >f calomel. ti NOTICE TO CREDITORS. i The State of Nebraska, Sherman County, ss. In the County Court.
